Glass Onion continued Benoit Blanc’s (Daniel Craig) story in a smash-hit sequel, and now a third film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, is on the way. Writer and director Rian Johnson has turned 2019’s Knives Out into a modern whodunit franchise, complete with a rotating cast of Hollywood stars. Glass Onion saw Craig joined by the likes of Janelle Monáe, Edward Norton, Dave Bautista, and Kate Hudson for a weekend murder mystery that goes very, very wrong. Knives Out 2 was just as good as the original, setting up a promising third installment.
Much like Knives Out before it, Glass Onion is another mystery that’s full of different layers, each one being peeled back to reveal a new surprise. With the death of Bautista’s Duke Cody and the shock of Andi’s (Monáe) own death and her twin sister replacing her, it certainly lives up to the onion part of its name. With another Benoit Blanc case in the books, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will have to try and top it. Despite a lengthy delay, the franchise moves forward with plenty of Wake Up Dead Man updates.
